Bruce Wayne: The Fifth Marauder

Chapter 10: The powers

Gotham City, Wayne Manor
As the men in peculiar dresses made their way inside, Clark had a very oppressive feeling that their clothes looked familiar. He thought that if at least somebody could give him a slight hint he would remember everything, but now was not the time. The strange men made their way inside, one of them stayed in the entrance, two of them went to the fallen door and pulled Alfred out, while the other two people who just noticed Clark and Dick approached them.

"Take care, of those two" ordered the man who was at the entrance

They said "Yes, sir!" and took out some strange sticks, they were about to run away when suddenly one of the waved the stick and said something unregistered. Whatever it was it made Clark and Dick stick to the ground. The men smirked in satisfaction and started to approach them.

"Now, you squib, tell us where is your master" one of men growled as he pulled Alfred by the collar

"You will have to kill me first" hissed Alfred

"Fine you asked for it" said the man and took out his strange stick and brought it close to Alfred, who cried in agony.

Clark was starting to panic, his powers suddenly gave away, he struggled desperately to fly of the ground, but to no avail. One of the men took him by his arms so he'd stop, but he didn't and so didn't Dick. Once they heard how Alfred cried in agony they were trying even more.

"From where you got so much stubbornness, old man?" the man asked as he pointed his stick at Alfred "Oh well, I know a way to make you talk" and just when he was about say the spell he was interrupted by a deafening scream "Stop!"

Everyone turned around and with horror saw Dick, who's eyes were literally glowing red and lasers started to shoot from his eyes. Clark watched him in awe, he didn't know that the boy had powers also. Then suddenly the men around them started to, literally, inflate and lost their grips of heir wands in process as they flew through the open space, which was once occupied by the door, and soared into the sky.

Afterwards Dick fell to the ground desperately gripping onto his head, at that moment Clark realized that he wasn't stuck to the ground anymore and rushed to Alfred "I am fine," said the old man as he stood up trying to keep his balance "help Richard."

Clark looked back at the boy and was horrified when he saw him lying on the ground and gripping his head in agony. "Dick! What's wrong?!" he asked as he kneeled near the boy

"It's too loud!" cried the boy desperately "Too much noise!"

Clark, still awe stuck, quickly realized what was going on "It's alright, calm down." he said as he pulled the crying boy next to him "Try to concentrate on my voice...There..." He made circled on the boy's back in at attempt to calm him down and he next moment the boy was sound asleep on the man's arms.

Clark didn't know what was going on but he had to tell the Justice League about is and also find Bruce.

Watchtower, hospital area

"Well?" asked Clark as J'onn read the analysis that he made on Dick

"He will be fine, it's just emotional exhaustion he should be awake by next morning" said J'onn as he inspected the boy

"And what about Bruce?" Asked Clark as he watched the boy helplessly

"We can't find him anywhere, it's as if he had become invisible" said J'onn as he took the analysis on the Dick's DNA a sudden frown appearing on his face
